What is the Hubble telescope and how does it help us?

The Hubble Space Telescope is a powerful space-based observatory launched in 1990 that captures high-resolution images of astronomical objects without the interference of Earth's atmosphere. It helps us by providing critical data that enhances our understanding of the universe, including the formation of stars, galaxies, and exoplanets. Hubble has contributed to numerous discoveries, such as the acceleration of the universe's expansion and the identification of distant galaxies. Its observations continue to inform and inspire scientific research across various fields of astronomy.
